CONSERVATION OF RIVER WATER ENTIRE FLOW OF SANTA ANA COULD BE SUNK IN GRAVEL BEDS MAXIMUM FLOOD AT TIMES REACHES ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF 400,000 INCHES Showing that the entire volume of water in the Santa Ana River can be sunk in gravel beds, during periods of storm flow and thus conserving it to feed the underground supply, Engineer Pedley of Riverside, at a recent meeting of the Tri-Counties Reforestation committee at Huntington Beach, read a most interesting address, giving data of paramount importance to irrigators throughout Southern California. Mr. Pedley is especially well qualified to speak upon this subject, and opens up a new vista of opulent possibilities of water conservation in this section. We hope our readers will peruse his paper carefully, and with that end in view it is herewith published in full: We, of the San Bernardino Valley, were the pioneers in the water spreading movement, but practically we have not advanced much in the last ten years; we are on a more solid basis because we own much of the spreading ground, and our diversion works are more solidly constructed, but we are using the same plan that we began with, and on about the same scale; in 1905, Mr. Mylne, engineer of the Gage Canal Co., acting for the Association of Water Companies, spread a maximum of 30,000 inches, and we are not doing any better today; we are letting the heavy floods go by, so that we flood protection, our work is value-ling the floods on the east side of the Santa Fe railroad. The wash is a mile and an eighth wide, where the railroad crosses it, and there are six bridge openings aggregating 1,387 feet; if the maximum flood were spread evenly over the 1,387 feet, it would be scarcely more than a foot deep. So long as the water comes through these openings it would be impossible to pretend that we were responsible for any damage which might happen west of the railroad, so that our responsibility would be confined to quite narrow limits within which there is no property to damage except the railroad, the canals, the roads, a wooden shed containing, I believe, a pumping plant and a house belonging to the Bear Valley Mutual Water Company, occupied by their zanjero. The danger to the railroad would be reduced, because, owing to the spreading of the water, much would be absorbed before reaching the line, and being divided into many streams, it would be far less dangerous than if all were united in one powerful torrent, as has usually been the case in the past; I do not propose that we do anything within three-quarters of a mile of the line, and below the lowest proposed dam the overflow water will inevitably concentrate into the channels, all of which are already bridged. I do not propose to do anything at or near the North Fork Redlands canal division box; nothing nearer than half a mile, and on the lower side. Except for a short distance near the mouth, the North Fork canal and road on the north side are up out of any possible danger; the Redlands canal and road on the south side of the wash are already washed away for some hundreds of feet, and the current now sets against a high gravel cliff at the mouth of Morton Canyon. This road is in a broad low channel next the bluff, probably ten feet below the average bed of the boulder wash, which is liable, and indeed is extremely likely, at any time to flood over into it; it was badly washed out from local streams, and has recently been repaired up to the zanjero's house, but is impassable near the canyon mouth; it is already useless in winter, and in great township 1 south, ranging about $5,000. To simulate of the water, would provide about eight more dams, penditure of about $60,000. The question of making and Cajon Creek absorb floods is now under consideration on the Santa Ana shore but it will perhaps introduce by lowering the water play county, and therefore I suggest that is that from 1,000 yards can be easily added to supply of Orange county 3,000 to 5,000 inches during through the Riverside company's canal into the O'Reilly being drawn from Warrington can be done at less expense river water since debris. Of course arrangement be made to sink it then gravel pit, excavated by railroad steam shovel which absorb a continuous flow of inches; pumping plants would of course participate effits, but I believe that their proportion of costs. We have not yet begun system of canals as we did water in the winter to which could absorb more naturally gravitates toistance Sand Creek was small washes below ditch on the north side Bernardino Valley, could water than nature bring all would tend to feed flow of Warm Creek and as well as the pumping. We have heretofore sewer haphazard without regard to where it is going, or will get there; in some points may be taken in tion with considerable power. For instance, let us also have ascertained that these underground in Lythrate rate of a mile in two more points should the Fond concentrate their spray each month. From October We, of the San Bernardino Valley, were the pioneers in the water spreading movement, but practically we have not advanced much in the last ten years; we are on a more solid basis because we own much of the spreading ground, and our diversion works are more solidly constructed, but we are using the same plan that we began with, and on about the same scale; in 1905, Mr. Mylne, engineer of the Gage Canal Co., acting for the Association of Water Companies, spread a maximum of 30,000 inches, and we are not doing any better today; we are letting the heavy floods go by, so that as flood protection, our work is valueless, and we lose at such times enormous quantities of valuable water. There are about 7,000 acres of gravel and boulder wash in the San Bernardino Valley. The maximum flood of the Santa Ana River measured by the U.S. government at Mentone, is 245,000 inches, and of Mill Creek, 60,000 inches. Including the other streams, probably 400,000 inches would represent the maximum flood, which is about one-fifth of what could be absorbed in the valley at the rate of 250 inches to the acre of wash, 250 inches to the acre being the quantity sunk by Kingsbury Sanborn at San Jacinto; it is about one-seventh of what might be absorbed, according to an experiment made by me in the City Creek wash, which is rather more porous and open than the San Jacinto River wash. In order to safely control floods it is not at all necessary to sink all of the water; probably 60 per cent of the floods could be taken care of in the natural channels, so that if we could absorb 40 per cent, and hold back the bulk of the traveling debris, the problem would be solved. There is not the slightest doubt that if necessary and desirable, every drop could be absorbed in the San Bernardino Valley, provided the requisite irrigation system could be constructed; figures show that we could take care of five times the maximum, whereas we only need to dispose of 40 per cent of it; in order to control floods we only need to sink about one-twelfth of what would be, theoretically, possible. The reasons that the floods have been allowed to pass are, I believe, first, that we do not own all of the wash upon which it would be necessary to operate, and, secondly, there is the fear that any obstruction, placed in the river bed to check or direct the flood flow, might turn it in some direction so as to cause damage, or at any rate to be credited with having caused damage. With some diffidence, I suggest for the consideration of the legal members of this committee, that the wash is all a part of the bed of the river. My reasons are that the position of the main channel in the wash is variable; sometimes it is on the north side and it flows there until, by the constant deposit of detritus, the bed rises so high that the stream in flood breaks over and takes some other lower channel. Also that the courts of this state have decided that the sub-surface flow of a river is the underflow at all points between the permanent banks. Taking these two facts together, it seems to me difficult to reach any other point. North side are up out of any possible danger; the Redlands canal and road on the south side of the wash are already washed away for some hundreds of feet, and the current now sets against a high gravel cliff at the mouth of Morton Canyon. This road is in a broad low channel next the bluff, probably ten feet below the average bed of the boulder wash, which is liable, and indeed is extremely likely, at any time to flood over into it; it was badly washed out from local streams, and has recently been repaired up to the zanjero's house, but is impassable near the canyon mouth; it is already useless in winter, and in great danger of total destruction; it is only a track in a sand wash with no bridges or permanent works of any kind, so that there is really nothing much to injure. The zanjero's house is on a slight elevation about 10 feet above the bed of the channel, occupied by the road, but probably lower than the bed of the flood channel now opposite to it; it could be moved higher up onto the bank, if the necessity arose. The pumping plant is not used in the winter, and would be protected from flood damage if there were any danger; hence, I say that the proposed works cannot cause any serious damage, because within the area affected, there is nothing of much value to be hurt. I advise the construction of a boulder dam enclosed in a wire net bag, averaging about three feet in height from the end of the bluff on the southwest side of Mill Creek, and running slightly west of north for a distance of about a mile, at an elevation of about 1,730 feet; even in flood the water will only overflow this long dam a few inches deep, and the effect will be to back the water up in a wide sheet above the dam, and to spread it into many small channels below. If all the water should reach this dam in one channel, the overflow would not be even, but would be greatest where the water strikes it, unless the top level of the dam were graded to suit. But I suggest that at an elevation of about 1,800 feet another comparatively short dam be built stretching from about the mouth of our first diverting ditch across to below the fish wheel of the Redlands canal at a point where the canal is high enough on the south bank to be safe. This dam would force some water to flow into five or six divergent old channels so that the flood would strike No. 2 dam at many different points, and thus render the overflow more nearly even; it should be made somewhat lower at the northerly end so that more of the Santa Ana River water be directed northerly for the reason that at the next lower dam, the flood of Mill Creek will all come in at the extreme southerly end, and it is desirable to even up the combined flow over No. 2 dam. These two dams, and the necessary work on the channels between and below them with a crew of men spreading during the floods so as to irrigate the wash as efficiently and as extensively as possible, would cost $7,500, and would probably sink about 40 per cent of the flood flow of the Santa Ana and Mill Creek perhaps not in the first year, but as soon as the debis has filled in part of north side are up out of any possible danger; the Redlands canal and road on the south side of the wash are already washed away for some hundreds of feet, and the current now sets against a high gravel cliff at the mouth of Morton Canyon. This road is in a broad low channel next the bluff, probably ten feet below the average bed of the boulder wash, which is liable, and indeed is extremely likely, at any time to flood over into it; it was badly washed out from local streams, and has recently been repaired up to the zanjero's house, but is passable near the canyon mouth; it is already useless in winter,and in great danger of total destruction; it is only a track in a sand wash with no bridges or permanent works of any kind, so that there is really nothing much to injure. The zanjero's house is on a slight elevation about 10 feet above the bed of the channel, occupied by the road,但 probably lower than the bed ofthe flood channel now opposite to it; it could be moved higher up ontothe bank，ifthe necessity arose. The pumping plant is not used inthe winter，and would beprotectedfromflooddamageiftherewereanydanger; hence，I saythattheproposedworkscannotcauseanyseriousdamage,becausewiththeareaaffected,theisnothingofmuchvaluetobehurt.

the consideration of the legal members of this committee, that the wash is all a part of the bed of the river. My reasons are that the position of the main channel in the wash is variable; sometimes it is on the north side and it flows there until, by the constant deposit of detritus, the bed rises so high that the stream in flood breaks over and takes some other lower channel. Also that the courts of this state have decided that the sub-surface flow of a river is the underflow at all points between the permanent banks. Taking these two facts together, it seems to me difficult to reach any other conclusion than that the entire wash, over which the river wanders at pleasure, is legally its bed. Any properly constituted authority, having charge of the improvement of a river, must certainly have powers to construct such works, and do such things, as may be necessary, within the river bed; if we have not that authority, then the sooner that is remedied the better, and if we have it, I think we could spread water anywhere in the wash, so long as it did not do damage. The fear of damage suits rests mainly upon the supposition that a very large body of water may be turned in some direction which may prove dangerous to somebody, but if it be fully realized that, once spread over the boulder wash of the valley, the water will be entirely absorbed, and no large volume of water will be left which can do any harm, I think that fear should die a natural death. As a matter of fact the southerly bank of the wash is a high bluff for eight miles, and even if we deliberately tried, I doubt if we could do any harm on that side, while nearly all the valuable property on the northerly side is well upon the slope and the tendency of floods always is to gravitate to the low lands, so that the risk in the easterly six miles of the San Bernardino Valley is very small. It is in my opinion entirely feasible and practically safe to operate there on a much larger scale than we are doing at present, to save vastly more water, and to partially or entirely control the floods according to the scale of our operations. To this end I suggest that it would be possible to make a good beginning, and minimize risks of possible damage suits by only hand- Santa Ana River water be directed northerly for the reason that at the next lower dam, the flood of Mill Creek will all come in at the extreme southerly end, and it is desirable to even up the combined flow over No. 2 dam. These two dams, and the necessary work on the channels between and below them with a crew of men spreading during the floods so as to irrigate the wash as efficiently and as extensively as possible, would cost, I estimate, $7,500, and would probably sink about 40 per cent of the flood flow of the Santa Ana and Mill Creek, perhaps not in the first year, but as soon as the debis has filled in part of the deeper channels, so that the water can be flooded over 300 acres. To irrigate the entire wash would be at first very expensive because it is torn up with deep channels with ridges in between, and it would be practically impossible to get the water up onto these ridges, so that I estimate that at first not more than one-fifth of the wash could be covered at a moderate cost. Of course the wash could all be leveled, but the proper economic course is to make the river level its own wash, by forcing it to deposit its detritus in the channels, and thus bring them up to the level of the ridges, and in this way it would each year become more and more easily irrigable, and the area over which the water spreads would increase. The effect of spreading the water more evenly, so that some water passes through each one of the railroad bridges, will also have a considerable effect upon the absorption of the washes west of the railroad, because it frequently now happens that the whole flood passes through one or two bridges only; especially if the spreading crew should help by working for half a mile west. If we can add a hundred thousand inches for one day to the underground reservoirs, it is good for 500 inches for the whole of the next pumping season, and how much damage that 100,000 inches would have done, had it been permitted to rush towards the sea, is very hard to estimate, and depends on course upon the size of the flood. To make sure of absorbing 40 per cent perhaps one other dam should be made running nearly due north and south across the wash, slightly east of the center of section... 7, township 1 south, range 1 west, costing about $5,000. To sink every drop of the water, would probably require about eight more dams, and the expenditure of about $60,000. The question of making Lytle Creek and Cajon Creek absorb their own floods is now under consideration, and should the movement become general, it will solve the present very difficult question of how to abate flood conditions on the Santa Ana south of Olive, but it will perhaps introduce another by lowering the water plane in Orange county, and therefore I repeat here a suggestion I have made formerly, and that is that from 1,000 to 2,000 inches can be easily added to the irrigation supply of Orange county by running 3,000 to 5,000 inches during the winter through the Riverside Water Company's canal into the Corona wash; being drawn from Warm Creek this can be done at less expense than if it were river water, since it carries less debris. Of course arrangements should be made to sink it there; the large gravel pit, excavated by the Santa Fe railroad steam shovel would probably absorb a continuous flow of a thousand inches; pumping plants in the wash would of course participate in the benefits, but I believe they would pay their proportion of costs if approached. We have not yet begun to use our system of canals as we ought to carry water in the winter to those washes which could absorb more water than naturally gravitates to them; for instance Sand Creek wash, and other small washes below the Highland ditch on the north side of the San Bernardino Valley, could absorb more water than nature brings to them, and all would tend to feed the summer flow of Warm Creek and City Creek, as well as the pumping basin. We have heretofore spread our water haphazard without calculating as to where it is going, or how soon it will get there; in some cases these points may be taken into consideration with considerable profit. For instance, let us assume that we have ascertained that the water travels underground in Lytle Creek at the rate of a mile in two months; at what points should the Fontana Company concentrate their spreading work in each month, from October to March, of citizens' committees in each county to keep the dangers of the proposed bill before the public until the election in November. This outline probably will be followed until a meeting of the representatives of various counties is held, when a more extensive plan will be worked out. When a more representative body is brought together, it is probable a permanent organization will be formed to take care of the farmers' interests and combat all measures detrimental to the agricultural pursuits of the state. It will be the duty of the secretary to keep in touch with conditions in all parts, and manage the campaign against the proposed law. "Committees of fifty" or similar bodies will be formed in each county.

By order of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim. EDWARD B MERRITT, Clerk of the City of Anaheim. water than nature brings to them, and all would tend to feed the summer flow of Warm Creek and City Creek, as well as the pumping basin. We have heretofore spread our water haphazard without calculating as to where it is going, or how soon it will get there; in some cases these points may be taken into consideration with considerable profit. For instance, let us assume that we have ascertained that the water travels underground in Lytle Creek at the rate of a mile in two months; at what points should the Fontana Company concentrate their spreading work in each month, from October to March, in order to derive the greatest benefit? The natural supply does not need reinforcement in May and June. Under the circumstances assumed, flood water, spread during the month of October, from 3½ to 5 miles above their intake, would arrive there during July, August and September; during November the spreading center should be moved half a mile nearer to the intake, in order that the water should also reach the intake during July, August and September, and so on, until in April the spreading should be from 1½ to 3 miles above the intake. This hypothetical case makes the theory clear, as it is plain that if the spreading be done too far above the point of use, the water will not arrive until too late, and will drain away during the winter, while if too close to the point of use, the water may only increase the flow at a time when the supply is already over abundant. The practical application of this theory is difficult, because we do not know how fast the water travels underground. I suggest, however, that exact readings of the water levels in a string of wells, for instance in Lytle Creek wash, would give the necessary information for that part of that stream. Assume that a rain storm should come on during next November, after all pumping plants have ceased to operate for a month, and the water in all wells stands at a normal height, and that we spread and sink all of the storm water within a mile of the canyon. The water so sunk into the gravels will travel down stream, and after a time will arise the water level in a well situated say a quarter of a mile below the lowest spreading point; then after another interval there will be a rise in the next well down stream; the interval will be a measure of the time the water took to travel from well to well; I believe that with a series of wells, and bi-weekly measurements, the progress of each wave of underground water can be traced, as it travels down the wash, and in this way its rate of progression may be determined. It may be necessary to supplement the existing wells by sinking one or more shafts; these can be done in the fall, when the water level is low, so that they may be sunk as dry holes. When once the speed of underground travel has been ascertained, their usefulness for that purpose would be ended, but they could be used to absorb flood water by running streams into them during the winter.

WHEN HER BACK ACHES A Woman Finds All Her Energy and Ambition Slipping Away Anaheim women know how the aches and pains that often come when the kidneys fall make life a burden. Backache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells, distressing urinary troubles, are frequent indications of weak kidneys and should be checked in time. Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only. They attack kidney diseases by striking at the cause. Here's proof of their merit in an Anaheim woman's words: Mrs. John Broderick, R.F.D. No.2, Anaheim, Cal., says: "I was bothered for years by kidney trouble. I had terrible pains in the small of my back, which often changed to a constant, dull ache through my kidneys. I became weak and run down and was unable to rest well. Last month I commenced using Doan's Kidney Pills and they have given me more relief than any other remedy I had ever taken. They went to the seat of the trouble and I now feel a great deal better. Doan's Kidney Pills have my highest endorsement." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Broderick had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N.Y.-Adv. WALTER WORTH MONEY To sign or not to sign a Brooklyn Fed contract for $100,000 in return for three years pitching service—that's the question now racking the brain of Walter Johnson, monarch of the slab. The Washington star received this offer recently, it is said, during a conference with R.B. Ward, owner of the Brooklyn Federals, and Manager Bill Bradley. Earlier in the evening Walter talked contract with Manager Griffith of the Senators and the latter offered him a substantial salary increase to sign a five-year contract. Leaving Griffith's apartment, Johnson entered an automobile with Manager Bradley and Jim Delehanty, a Brooklyn infielder, and was presented to Owner Ward. The latter offered $75,000 for three years' work and an additional $25,000 to land Walter's signature. Griffith asserts his mound marvel is bound by a contract he cannot break.
